A Study of Strategic Lessons Learned in Vietnam. Volume 7. The Soldier

Abstract

The chapters of Volume VII, the Soldier, develop a number of key insights and lessons concerning the US soldier during the years 1960-1973. These insights highlight a broad and diverse array of soldier-related problems and policies that developed in the years of the United States' combat role in Indochina. The insights are specific, focusing on the major themes discussed in the chapters of volume, including personnel policies and problems, racial discrimination, drug abuse, leadership quality, and careerism. The accompanying lessons, in contrast, while derived from the US soldier's experiences in Vietnam, are more general in tone, with wider application and greater interest to US military leaders and planners.
